The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1980

Therefore, as the main family, it was necessary for them to use the ancestor worship ceremony to gather people from the collateral family together at regular intervals. 5

After getting to know each other, getting acquainted with one another, and worshipping their common ancestors together, the connection between the bloodlines would naturally be strengthened.

This was also a necessary means for large families to maintain their strength.

Therefore, the Wade family would not only hold an ancestor worship ceremony once every twelve years, but they would also revise their entire Wade family genealogy chart at the ancestor worship ceremony.

During this period between the current twelve years and the past twelve years, each family would have already given birth to a new heir, an older generation would have died, and some young adults would have already gotten married.

Therefore, every twelve years, the countless branches o f the Wade family would have to report the population changes in their family over the past twelve years to the main family. 5

At that time, the main family would select a respected elder of good moral standing and reputation to

personally renew the genealogy chart. The elder would have to write down the names and deeds of each and every one of these people, one by one.

The existing Wade family genealogy chart consisted o f the names of millions of Wade family descendants a s well as the names of millions of their spouses. For instance, a certain son of the Wade family could have married the daughter of another family, or the daughter of the Wade family could have married the son from another family and so forth. 4

Every revision for the genealogy chart was also very grand.

The original copy of the genealogy chart was stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and it would be brought out by the descendants of the Wade family during each ancestor worship ceremony.

After bringing the genealogy chart out for the ancestor worship ceremony, they would have to immediately and respectfully store it back. 3

After that, they would renew the new genealogy chart.

The previous ancestor worship ceremony before this had been twenty-four years ago. At that time, he had been too young, and he had no memory of that incident at all.

However, although Charlie could no longer find any memory of the ancestor worship ceremony from twenty-four years ago, he was still very clear about the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony. He knew that this was the grandest ceremony for the Wade family, and it would also be the grandest ancestor worship ceremony for his parents.

Therefore, Charlie could not help but look forward to it.

He was not looking forward to paying homage to the ancestors of the Wade family, but he was simply looking forward to it because he would finally be able t o pay his respects to his parents in a respectable, upright, and grand manner.

When he followed Yule to pay his respects to his parents the last time, he had had to pretend that he was Yule's driver. He had failed to walk to his parents' grave using his own true identity to kowtow before them. This had always been a big regret that he carried.

Thus, he said to Yule, "Uncle Golding, please tell my grandfather that I will attend the ancestor worship ceremony during the Tomb Sweeping Festival!"
